Winter is approaching. With the onset of frosty days, colds and colds increase. Preventive against them are hot peppers.
Their spicy taste like nothing else can make you cry, make you feel hot and sweaty. This is due to capsaicin. This is the remarkable antioxidant that gives the spicy taste of hot peppers.
Capsaicin is a tasteless, odorless and colorless substance. It is contained in different amounts in peppers. Most of all, for example, it is contained in the fiery variety "habanero".
However, bell peppers, better known as stuffed peppers, do not contain any capsaicin. Remember that the more capsaicin a pepper variety contains, the hotter and richer it is in antioxidants.
Two teaspoons of red hot peppers provide about 6% of the body's daily need for vitamin C and more than 10% of vitamin A.
Red hot peppers are usually more spicy. Green peppers also contain capsaicin. It is important to know that color does not always determine spiciness.
Scientists believe that capsaicin is a protective agent of pepper from animals. It can be said that the plant is "hostile" to humans.
When we eat peppers, especially hot ones, their spicy taste attacks the pain receptors on the tongue. They in turn send a message to the brain.
However, all this is not fatal at all, because after regular consumption the cells become numb. At one point a person gets used to the spiciness and even enjoys it.
Nutritionists explain that this is due to endorphins, also called pleasure hormone, the release of which is caused by peppers.
However, they are prohibited in people who have a damaged stomach, intestines, liver and kidneys, as well as in cardiovascular disease. Consumption of hot peppers is allowed only to completely healthy people. It is even advisable not to eat them raw, but to combine them with soups, broths or stews.
So, during the winter months, emphasize hot peppers - both for pleasure and for health.
